1918 ET - Kura Sushi USA fielded questions from investors about why the company didn't raise guidance more, when it beat Wall Street estimates across the board in its second quarter. Kura raised its outlook range to $333 million to $335 million, from $330 million to $334 million. CEO Hajime Uba says the outlook reflects prudence, but not pessimism. "Just given there's a war going on and we don't know how it's going to play out, we felt it prudent in terms of our guidance just to add the upside from Q2 but not to extrapolate further," he says. Shares fall 5.5% after hours. (katherine.hamilton@wsj.com)
